Author Spotlight: Stephen King

Stephen King's office building sits on a particularly dreary dead-end road on the outskirts of Bangor, Maine, just down the street from a gun-and-ammo store, a snowplow dealership and, appropriately enough, an old cemetery. From the outside, the anonymous building looks like a new branch of Dunder Mifflin, a very deliberate choice meant to keep King and his tiny staff safe.

Is it fair to say that Stephen King is having a moment if he's never quite stopped having a moment? The famously prolific writer-author of dozens of books (seven under the pen name Robert Bachman)-has 238 "based on the original story by" writer credits on IMDb, spanning the course of 41 years.
